Addiction is the ultimate in holistic pet food. Free from harmful additives, made exclusively from novel proteins and game meats known for their nutritional and hypoallergenic properties, Addiction has amassed a cult following among discerning pet owners seeking the ultimate in holistic nutrition. Addiction is made in New Zealand and Australia where the lush forests, clean lakes and stringent agricultural and manufacturing standards ensure the highest quality food made in a pristine environment. The Addiction range of products is the result of over 20 years of research and experience and revolutionizes the way in which pets’ nutritional needs are addressed.

Addiction was founded by a leading Holistic Veterinarian and Clinical Nutritionist who saw thousands of disease-stricken cats plagued with skin and gastrointestinal conditions caused by allergies to beef, chicken, lamb and artificial additives. Frustrated by the lack of healthy food options, he set out with a mission to develop a range of ultra-premium cat foods that contain no by-products, fillers or preservatives. He also utilized an innovative range of hypoallergenic protein sources to prevent allergies and promote wellness and vitality in pets.

What Nature Intended Your Cat to EatEnlightened by the belief that pet food should be natural and free from harmful additives, the Addiction range uses only natural, wholesome, highest quality ingredients packed with nutritional benefits to enhance health and well-being. It contains no artificial preservatives, flavors, fillers or by-products commonly found in many of today’s pet foods and even human foods. The result is food as close as possible to what nature intended your cat to eat.

Exclusively Made From Novel Proteins and Game MeatsThe Addiction range is made exclusively from novel proteins and game meats instead of commonly used chicken, beef or lamb. Novel proteins are hypoallergenic to cats not previously exposed to them, and they therefore provide a natural solution to cats that are allergic to chicken, beef or lamb. Each novel protein and game meat in the Addiction range is carefully selected for its exquisite taste and nutritional properties, providing your cat with a naturally great tasting meal with unique health benefits.

I have 6 cats (down from 12); ages ranging from 2yrs to 18yrs old. They all have been fed only the highest quality - no grain foods since they became a part of my family.One of my cats has been having issues with congestion, coughing, sneezing. The vet thought it might be herpes & gave him antibiotics to take. It seemed to work but then it didn't. Researching causes for his affliction I thought there might be a chance it's something in his food. It was for this purpose that I decided to try this line of food as it is advertised to be good for this reason. I bought the duck, buffalo, brushtail & salmon. Some of my cats will eat a few bites but for the most part they just walk away from it. To be honest it does seem to have way too much potatoe in it. My cats don't want veggies they want meat! So far Wuruva Trulux seems to be the winner all around. Guess I'll pass the left over cans to the donation bin. I know I can return them but the shipping would pretty much eat up my refund! Sorry; I wanted this to work but not for my cats.

I am not sure why this food is full of potatoes and peas for cats? At this price point I would not expect non-nutritional fillers. Will not buy again. My cat trys to pick around the vegetables or I have to pick them out. Disappointing.

My cat is allergic to most proteins except venison, brushtail and buffalo. This is one of the small selection of foods she can eat. The only thing is I remove any of the gel or liquid in the can. Occasionally that has given my cat loose stools. Other than that I use this food as a regular.

My cat is now 19 years old and his stomach is a bit sensitive these days, ie he throws up if you look at him crossed eyed. : ) This food is one of the few that he can eat, he loves it, he keeps it down and he stopped losing weight. Can not say enough great things about it. Just wish it was not so expensive. I have been mixing it with some lightly cooked, grass fed, no hormones, ground beef to help it go a little ways longer.

I tried 5 flavors, my cat turned his nose up to each and every one of them. He did not like it at all! There is something in this food that just turns him away. Luckily the homeless cats got so good food for the week!

I didnt want to rate it so low since every cat is different but be warned!

My cat is turning 19 years old and has always been healthy. Then a year ago he got sick and could not seem to get over the upset tummy, diarrhea and lack of energy. He had to have one of his thyroid glands removed due to cancer. After that he seemed to have a hard time with his food, keeping it down. I switched to the Addiction and he has loved it and is very healthy now. The only objection is the price.

I have 3 cats, all of which are over the age of 8 years. They love the food, but couldn't stand the potato's. They would eat around them everytime. Maybe if they were smaller or more ground into the meat, all of it would have been eaten.

My two cats, both 2.5 years old, love this formula. They are both allergic to fowl and fish so the range of meats they're able to eat are limited. The only reason I didn't give it a five star rating is that there are far too many potatoes (and peas) in this formula - not species appropriate, too much starch for cats. I always have to spend time picking out the potatoes (and the brushtail formula - even more potatoes, averaging 25 - 30 one inch potatoes per 6.5 cans). There also seems to be a supply problem on Addiction's end with this formula - in the last six months we've used it, it has been unavailable 3 times which makes it very difficult for cats that have limited options due to allergies. That being said, it's a wonderfully chunky, dark meat and makes other venison formulas (like Nat'l Balance) look like applesauce. They tried Addiction's Hunter's Stew venison but it's far too soupy. We'll keep this formula in our cupboard even though the cats are eating half raw meals with the intent of a greater transition to raw. Thanks Addiction but wish you could get your supply problem with this formula worked out as they can't seem to keep up with demand. And nix the potatoes and peas please.
